Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

These accounts have no monthly fees during the beta period

Early Account Termination Fee

I didn’t see mention of an early account termination fee in the fee schedule.

Our Verdict

Basically they give you two accounts, one is a ‘set aside’ (savings account) and another is a ‘spending account’ (checking account). I love how these banks think they are reinventing the wheel whenever they try and market something towards millennials. That being said this bonus seems to be ridiculously easy to meet the requirements for. I don’t see anything in the fine print that prevents you from getting the bonus if you’ve received a Wells Fargo checking bonus before, but I guess they could just not select you. I think it’s worth trying if you have an iOS eligible device.
